He doesnt like football really so why spend 2 weeks away when you can go on holidayWhat is it with Ben White. Southgate wanted him in this squad but he’s turned it down again. Just can’t see what the issue is with him.
Corr its coming home lads.The spine of Maguire, Henderson, Rashford is the best England have ever had. How anyone wants to exclude themselves from that is mind boggling.
True, he is odd, a footballer who doesn’t actually like football. He’d rather go to a fashion show or spend two hours under the sunbed than watch a match, the big tartHe doesnt like football really so why spend 2 weeks away when you can go on holiday

That only really works for players that declare themselves "injured", and might want to play for their national team again. There's not a lot you can do if someone simply decides they don't want to go.Whatever happened to FIFA suspending players for refusing to play for their national side?
If I was a top EPL player I would exclude myself from international duty too. Crap level of football and competition with 2nd rate managers. I'd pull the mental health trump card and say I needed time with my family while not wasting the summer and my body.
I know it's unlikely White would start but I'm amazed he's turned his back on England. Surely you just get on with it, playing for England is the pinnacle for me.
What about if it’s because he really doesn’t get on with the manager or the coaches and struggles with it mentally?If he doesn't want to go then just never include him in the conversation again in the future. You don't want a guy who doesn't want to be there anyway, it will just drag others down.

If there’s a new manager who he does get on with, do you continue to exclude him? I can’t agree with that. It’s cutting your nose off to spite your face.
There is. FIFA have the power to suspend any player that refuses a call-up, these threats were fairly common place back in the day. For example I can remember Makelele being threatened with a suspension when he tried to retire from International football - link.That only really works for players that declare themselves "injured", and might want to play for their national team again.
